mmm…Unreal in fly mode :D

sasha you noob. a) it’s not unreal, it’s halo. zanzibar is a halo 2 map, gulch (blood gulch) is a halo 1 map.

b) not exactly fly mode either – technically “no clipping” mode where the user isn’t affected by gravity or walls; used for testing maps in-game or by map editors for camera control.

nice post – I’ve always loved messing with the various game engines, APIs & SDKs; projects like this always give a lot of power to the hobbiest on a professional level. stuff like this is what got me into coding and development–now my job! ;P

this looks like a really promising engine, what with its no TEV shader support and no decent lighting support leading to N64-quality graphics, and no demonstrable audio / scripting / networking / physics support.

Let’s be honest, this is less a game engine and more a college student’s side project when not doing bong hits.

@pfft

hmm, so um, where’s your engine?

Funny how it looks like everybody’s fist counterstrike map :)

interesting, but since you can get a pc to recognize input from the wiimote, i wonder why bother making games to use the wii console. would’nt a pc game using the wiimote be more or less the same and much easier?

FiSSION runs through the Homebrew Channel (as seen in the video). This means that it runs as a full-power executable program, the same as a store-purchased game does. It is not running under a web browser or any other “virtual environment”. It is real application code just like any official Wii application. The only difference is that my applications requires a modded, Homebrew Channel installed, Wii (because my code is not signed by Nintendo).

If you don’t have a modded wii already, see http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Setting_up_your_Wii_for_Homebrew for instructions.

In a nutshell, FiSSION works by loading 3d objects and textures from a memory card, decompressing them, putting them into the Wii’s memory, and telling the video card in the Wii to draw them. Then it receives input from a usb mouse and keyboard to allow the user to change their viewpoint.

I am using devkitppc, a c++ compiler / toolkit for the Wii, to build my applications. See the tutorials on wiibrew for more information on how to get started using devkitppc to build your own homebrew apps.

For your convenience, here’s the link: http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Getting_Started_with_devkitppc .

I eventually plan on releasing the full source code for FiSSION, but not immediately. I want to develop it a little more before I let the world dig their claws into it.

The game content (the actual objects and graphics that the engine is loading) has been converted from files taken from from Bungie’s Halo. I used them because I didn’t have anything original made yet (and because I’m not the best at modeling). Please (please!) note though: this is not by any means a port of Halo. It is an original game engine that I am demoing using objects taken from Halo. As soon as I make some new levels, all traces of Halo will be gone from FiSSION permanently. I’m not going to go into the details of model / map creation, but if you’re interested, google the keyword “blender”.

Well I hope that clears things up. Glad to see you liked it. :) See ya.

oh ya, punmaster is completely right. blender is an amazing modeling, and texturing program. its also really really well documented. in fact i think it would be really useful if you could set up your game engine to use the blender model types. it would save you, and a lot of other people, a bunch of time. you don’t have to code a modeling system, and people could use the easy system that blender provides. its a win win :) but this is just a suggestion its an awsome project as is so don’t think im demanding anything.

PS. im woundering what you are currently working on for your engine at the moment. good job and keep it up.

do u know exactly how you are going to connect your engine with blender? like simply making the model extensions compatible, or (in an extreme example) make the whole blender modeling engine available in your project. not quite sure if the latter will be a reasonable expectation for anyone, but it sure as heck would be cool XD

@totter333

The current system I’m working on goes more along the lines of your first statement. You export your models from blender as “obj” files, and import them into the level designer, where you combine all your objects (level, scenery, weapons, etc.) into a game map. I am hoping to eventually write a custom export plugin for blender that pulls out additional information that could be useful to the editor / engine. Even tighter integration might come later, but for now, this system seems to be working. :)

hey that’s looking really cool can’t wait till i can try it out

You can install Wii Homebrew without Zelda and on Wii 4.0 at this link

It is quite difficult for to wii game downloads, I also care about how to burn wii downloads.I am learning to play wii games now, its is so interesting.

The maker should do this type of metroid :D

Exceptional work.

Wow, You had me at the Zanzibar map i fell in love right away.

Wish I saw this sooner, hopefully it’s still progressing. Nicely Done.

Seems about right, Xbox 1 is about the same specs as the Wii hahaha.
